Fair Play Director Chloe Domont Breaks Down a Scene | Netflix

[@abbycash]

This is actually a playback of my life. It’s chilling and captivating. I like how she keeps saying a lot of women can relate

and we do 🥲

​​@@marlenegabrielacontrerasga5929 just so you know most men wont do what he did he is a snake i would rather die than to do what he did to my girl it mostly not relatable.

This is such a good movie! Am i the only one who got some creepy vibes when Luke smiled and hugged Emily?

[@lavendermind6883]

The vibes can even be felt from the beginning...I think the director did a good job in creating that vibe through out...

[@marlenegabrielacontrerasga5929]

no! felt them too 😐

[@kilgoretrout4408]

much creepier vibes listening to the director expound did you get a little frisson of pleasure from the ending?

[@Dazedandconfusedforsolong]

Yeah, run from a woman that thinks stabbing someone in that context is healthy human behavior.

She loved him and he did not love her. She was happy for him when she thought he was being promoted, felt sorry when he did not get it, and then immediately was working on getting him promoted as well. Guy did not deserve her.

he proposed marriage he begged her not to help him and she ignored him

Becareful what you relate you life too. this is bs in most case most men wont do what he did. i would rather die than do what he did to my girl

[@lavendermind6883]

This scene indeed is the highlight and that is when I get to see the weakness in their relationship...the rosy relationship displayed yet there seems to be the looming danger of something about to happen which climaxes in this scene, his choice of words...to chose to bring in the idea of abuse and shadow her momment of success...portrays his real character and insecurities...

Chloe Domont made a great work of art with this film and she has described the scene like a true artist passionate about her creation, bravo and well done! So excited to see what awards this film wins.

[@rufarojunior]

Fair play is such a sick movie and it’s so good

[@clarencemuhuure2278]

Great movie, I was glued every step of the way. What I would have loved to see was a great ending to it, Luke coming to his senses before damaging their relationship and Emily being more understanding of Luke... I mean come now, who would like their fiancee going out in the middle of the night with their boss and coming drunk home... One word, disrespect. Realistic movie, great...!

[@victoriac847]

I think that the purpose of those scenes were to a) show that Emily wasn’t totally innocent/perfect so we the viewer can find ourselves wondering whose in the wrong as the story builds but also b) show exactly what men stereotypically do when they get a promotion in this setting. If anything she’s more justified doing those things since her character feels she has to prove herself to her male colleagues. It’s very thought provoking!

[@marlenegabrielacontrerasga5929]

Chloe is such a great writer and director! I hope she keeps making movies as interesting and exciting as this one 🤩😘

[@sanafahad6578]

Luke just could'nt admit that his fiancee is better than him. I mean he got burnt the moment he knew she was the new chairperson or president whatever. Luk just could'nt take it

[@rin_blank5830]

If I was the guy, I'd be happy my partner is making that big amount of money. I mean we could just chill while going on a date while she spends it for us. Lmao men who get angry with that are just so fragile with their masculinity and insecure. I mean, the woman is making $$$ mah boi you don't have to work your ass off so much anymore. The fact that she's beautiful and loyal even tho being rich. He lost a gem...

[@sanafahad6578]

@@rin_blank5830 exactly. It felt like his soul got burnt the moment emily told him.

[@olivia13073]

she's briliant !! genius !

[@Aman_Tiwari01]

2:46 What a contradictory statement chole (Director) have given that she (phoebe) apologized first was not because of gender dynamics (truly a feminist pushing the woke agenda) but the fact that she (phoebe) herself told him (alden) earlier in the film that he is up for promotion but eventually gets handed over to her that is why she apologized first cause ofcourse he was expecting it but didn't get it, he'd feel bad that the next successor of the position that he wanted is none other than his fellow analysts who happens to be his fiancée. In the end I'd like to admit that it's a film that is really tense especially the end the fact that luke was supportive at the start but compilations of situations that he went through such as office talk about how did she got promoted so soon and other guy says don't you about sex. the crucial part was, she kept telling him she'd help him in his career but whole bunch of thing happened but promotion, things went on she kept answering late night calls of her boss , coming home drunk, and the drunk talk is just another level. he had endure it all the things for example in latter parts of film when campbell (boss) touch her in a friendly office i believe he couldn't bear it. And then luke got himself into self help/motivation hole changing his personality to jealous and all bunch of BS. it was gradual change and eventually luke burst out badly not only towords his relationship but jobs profile. the only thing that led to all of this is that her not saying to him that his boss doesn't want him when she tried for promotion of his. say him that his boss doesn't think any future prospect for him. Lack of Clear communication was first nail in coffin.

[@Amylouise2201]

Found the victim blamer, guys!

[@sabode6858]

of course you just casually skipped over the part where he rapes her.

[@kilgoretrout4408]

are you going to victimize the victim blamer now, or is vengeance called justice when you do it? @@Amylouise2201 you did notice who gets to die at the end?

[@bgm3460]

For those who said the boss is 'bad', I had been in very female enviroment and I prefer a boss like that, at least he just insult in your face and for do bad your job, not for any un-logic reason

[@cherryblack420]

So you're literally saying women are fake. Did we even watch the same movie lol

I felt so tensed watching that movie !

Me too

[@mimi_E.N]

I couldn't watch it at a go. I had to alternate between watching it and scrolling on Twitter

[@mtb5778]

spoiler alert. I enjoyed this movie. Such as amazing performance by Phoebe Dynevor. Two people in passionate love ruined by the man being unable to cope with his partner being better than him at the same job. All men hope that they would be able to manage this situation but her partner played by Alden Ehrenreich just slowly unravels. Very sad to see this relationship breakdown.

[@potomac1979]

One of the most beautiful and smartest women I've met told me one day, "I could never be with a man that stays home and takes care of the household and the kids. They want professional success and an alfa male at the same time. It is simply not possible.

[@Ali-gb7mf]

I know men like Luke.

[@comitatus]

Enjoyed the analysis but she’s leaving out the critical element here - he had been told he got the promotion and will now be her subordinate. Of course that makes this extremely uncomfortable. Absent those variables, I seriously doubt the typical guy feels threatened or emasculated by a female partner’s success

[@boxer12350]

Well said

[@jasmineevaristo3752]

You may be right, but men definitely feel a way about a woman being more successful than them. Especially when so much of society has ingrained that men are supposed to be the breadwinners.

[@LunaLinguine]

No, she isn't; you're actually missing it. When they both thought he was going to get the promotion, and she would be his subordinate, she wasn't threatened; she was the one sneaking off to tell him, she was happy for him, they had sex that night, etc. She could handle it; he couldn't. This film illuminates male fragility. And the point I think Chloe made with this film was that it is the denial of feelings of inferiority/insecurity/shame is what destroys people and relationships. So, I would question your doubts about the "typical guy".

[@nodatastored684]

As a guy, it's difficult to be in a relationship with a woman who's more successful than you. Which is why I normally partner up with homeless runaways.

[@neetugupta9887]

She is sorry for him not being a success. Wow

[@madamenerina]

I don’t relate to women like her at all. Her masking and behaving like a low life finance bro and going along with laughing about the fraternity sexual assault is disturbing. Weak men and weak women are equally toxic. I also detest sex scenes that follow domestic abuse. The acting was very good and captured the tension well.

[@Dazedandconfusedforsolong]

Yeah and she was also clearly mentally unstable and violent.

[@kawtaratti9693]

​@@Dazedandconfusedforsolong and which woman remains mentally stable after being raped

[@mariclaraoliveira1339]

I don't see any great director explaining his/her film like a school cinema techer, as she does. Why she choose this or that light. Fellini, e.g., once answered to a journalist about the sens of his movie : "There is no explanation. Cinema is a dream", he said. Period. Don't explain, just do it. But she is on Netflix, Fellini was an artist. And so Scorcese, Spike Lee, and so many others...

[@tanveerUKhan15]

Its amazing how thr producer created this scene and still doesnt understand why he reacted the way he did. She told him he was getting the promotion. They celebrated it and then an hour later she gets the promotion. When you celebrate a win and find out you lost, you need time to process and then get clarity. If the scene was different where they didnt celebrate and she didnt hype him up and both wanted the promotion and she ends up getting it and he still reacts this way then everything shes saying here is valid. She should also be reminding the audience how emotionally dangerous the hedge fund industry is and how it breaks even the most mentally strong.

[@sitoe9858]

Genius

[@hill16gav]

Why didn't she text him before she came home to tell him her good news?

[@Blingblow_779]

Why does it matter and why would you want to receive that kinda news through text.

[@hill16gav]

@@Blingblow_779 I'd assume it matters because it's common in a relationship to let your partner know you are safe and I'll assume it's also common to inform a partner of good/bad news over a quick call or text. But I guess if she called or text her partner, he would of went to bed and the movie would be over.

[@Blingblow_779]

@@hill16gav a Text for safety is obvious but to not call at 4 in the morning about the promotion is not crazy. A promotion I would rather say in person especially it effects the partner. Why would you wanna say it in a simple text.

The director took the best of show time billions with many strong women strong women of color and non binary and a better work place ax was a little saddy but all this director did was give us one upping white woman who had no empathy for other people because a heartless woman who became a man only said hello to one woman once she was not a nice person got a company car could have drop her boyfriend off before the office in real life i think Luke could have killed her she like the bathroom sex until it got a little bit rough she pulled her panties down if this was true a real woman who had started kicking and screaming but i think a lot of you forgot she told Luke if you get the promotion i will not be threatened but i would be jealous of you so much for total love
